Well, firstly Sonic/Cold is a fantastic build for both team and solo PvP.

I have been PvPing sonic cold for some time now and its by far my favourite PvP toon with the ability to cripple enemy support and effectively pin an opponent to the spot for your team to spike.

My build is based on slowing as many targets as possible as quickly as possible thus I have slotted slow to the max.

I wouldnt take Shriek as the damage is poor and the slots could be better invested elsewhere, plus if you swap the endreds in Scream and Shout for recharge you can make a permanent attack chain with the two.

I have slotted infrig 2 acc 3 slow 1 rec (Will be swapped for Pacing of thre Turtle) as in large scale and arena PvP along with Snow Storm, it cripples Movement. Its also worth noting that infrige doesnt stack.

As I consider myself a support toon I have both shields, slotted with 3 def buff.

I would slot at least 2 endmods in Heatloss, if you miss your target aoe buffs and only have the one application from yourself, you will be left out of end regularly. its also worth noting that Heatloss has a -95% -recharge so use it wisely

I have Sleet slotted 3 rec 3 slow, this is perhaps the nastiest movement slow you have, especially for jumpers. Its particularly good for large scale arena where movement counts for alot and the patch is going to effect a good few people.

I personally don't like arctic fog, personal preference, I cant fit it in as I prefer SS/CJ for movement and my build is pretty tight on end anyway.

Web envelope is a fantastic power and combined with you slows will pin an opponent down for spiking, I personally have this slotted 2acc 3 rec as the -jump is perma for duelling.

I will post my build up later today

Nice to hear someone thats knows what they talking about I was thinking for duels another application of -res of shriek would be nice or do I not need that?

That would be the only reason I would take it personally, My attack chain currently is Screech (The longest -res duration)-Scream-Shout-Scream, this chain (Sonic set only) gives me the best -res (I think ) its also worth noting that the -res stacks

Also I hope to get the chance to build up proc in Shout, with the stacked -res Amplify and Sleet, it should pack some punch

I love stacking the -res on my Rad/Sonic defender and I think the 4 stacked -res combined with scourge would be nasty Not even including sleet and heatloss Especially as the rooting doesnt matter as your target is slowed to hell anyway

Sonic/Cold is great, Ive seen Sero's toon in force and been teaming/against several times.

As an opponenet, obviously Snow Storm is a pain in arena but the real killer is infrigdate, beign hit by that with good slotting and your own attack chain is thrown out of the window.. Goign for the AoE web is simply a nice stacker and the -jump will keep them routed to about a 2foot by 2foot patch as you skirt around them blasting to pieces...

I'd advise hunting regen scrappers in Warburg for a bit of fun with a build like that

You dont need as many end reductions in attacks as when you have Heat loss on you (Should be 3 rech 3 end mod) Endurance isnt even part of the question when your PvPing, just a little extra help if you want it

Right, this is probably going to be a stupid question,

But doesn't heatloss need any accuracy's? My corrupter isn't high enough to have it, but in the hero builder it does take accuracy's...

According to nofuture it takes accuracy's, could be wrong though. How's everyone finding those sonic/cold's anyway?

It does take and need accuracies. It works the exact same way as fulcrum shift (autohit on your target, need tohitcheck on others so if you only want to duel you can skip the accuracy)

Thanks for that one. Didn't even know FS worked that way

I disagree, imo it doesnt need accs, sonic/cold and cant really spare slots for heatloss acc or at least my build cant, its charge is that long that you can time it with aim and or in vill PvP team you will most likely be forged.

And I'm pretty sure its base acc is higher than fulc as to my knowledge my Heatloss has never missed, where as my lvl50 Kin/elec's fulc can still miss fairly frequently in PvP and PvE, thats slotted with 2 accs.

I guess it comes down to play style, in team PvP I use heatloss for the massive -recharge (wait for two or more to group) and solo mostly for the the -res, infrige - web envelope - sleet - aim - Heatloss then my attack chain (By this time Snow Storm will already be on) Maybe I get away with less acc due to my IO sets with grant around 50% acc bonus, but thats only a recent addition to my build
